The conspiracy of Ji Sang and the others, 6 Yao and the others did not know. (Please search for the fastest novel website!) Since the time of this trip was not urgent, they simply rested in the Ran Manor to relieve the fatigue of crossing the mountains and mountains. 6 Yao also ordered He Yun and Chu Kun to search for local clans and village elders, and carefully inquire about the families in the vicinity that had been robbed by horse thieves, intending to return the women and children that had been captured by the thieves.
Ding Miao was very impatient with this move, and even Xue Tong and others felt that there was no need to bother so much. But 6 with modern thinking, it is really impossible to abandon these women and children. Over the next three days, he personally led people to and from various villages in Anyang County, returning a woman and a girl to their home.
However, due to the repeated military disasters in Anyang, most of the original local institutions at the township, li, and ting levels have been destroyed. Except for some large families with large surnames, other farms and village communities are rarely preserved, and many residents have been displaced, and the original ties between them have been severed. Although 6 Yao is very dedicated, in the end, there are still a number of people who are really difficult to find their families, or all their families are not in the hands of thieves, so they have no choice but to entrust them to local wealthy families. Only the child named Ran Zhan followed 6 Yao closely, not leaving an inch.
Those horse thieves intended to kidnap and extort tickets, so many of the women and children captured were from large families. When they were returned, the family thanked 6 Yao and his party for their kindness, and every time they gave a gold silk gift, 6 Yao couldn't refuse. In the end, because of the large number of gifts, when I went to Yecheng, I had to free up two pack horses alone to load.
Along the way, Hu Liuniang was looking at those gifts with envy. 6As he rode past her, he heard her murmur, "In three days, I have gained so much wealth!" Sure enough, black eating black is the most worthwhile......"
6 Yao couldn't help but shake his head again and again, this Hu Dazhai master is really worthy of being a green forest hero, and he does not leave his bank in three sentences.
After thinking about it, he quickly cleared his throat and said in a deep voice: "Lord Dazhai, we are acting on behalf of the imperial court, and what we do is to eliminate harm for the people, not to eat black and eat black!" ”
Hu Liuniang glanced at 6 Yao with disdain: "So you guys are black...... Is there anything darker than the court in this world? ”
I can't talk about it. 6 Yao urged the horse to whip up, and directly crossed Hu Liuniang to the front of the team.
It is not far from Anyang to Ye County, and it is a flat river. The crowd walked very fast.
Except for a few people such as Ding Miao and Hu Liuniang, the rest of them came to this Sanwei region for the first time, which used to be known as the crown of the world. However, along the way, I saw large areas of abandoned fields and many villages empty. Only crows fluttered over the mass graves, making rough and ugly calls.
Xue Tong put his hand on the pergola and looked around for a long time, and finally couldn't help but say: "This place is so desolate, it is very different from what I imagined. ”
"Over the years, it is true that Bingzhou has been a succession of soldiers and disasters, and the people are not able to make a living, but where can the whole country in Shandong go? It is only said that in a war in the second year of Tai'an, Youzhou Wang Jun Xianbei and Wuhuan Tucai rode 20,000 people south to attack Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu. After the capture of Yecheng, the Hu people plundered women even more, and their behavior was like that of robbers. On the way back, the brutality of the Hu people couldn't even stand Wang Jun himself, so he ordered those who dared to blackmail the Tibetan to be beheaded. As a result, the Hu people sank all the women they had taken captive in Yishui, and more than 8,000 people died. 6 Yao sighed: "I don't know how Yecheng is, but the prosperity of all parts of Hebei should have long ceased to exist." ”
After walking for half a day, I heard He Yun shouting excitedly in front of him: "Look! Three! ”
The crowd hurried forward, and not far away they saw the towers towering into the clouds.
Among the group, Ding Miao had traveled to Wei County, and he knew the old horse, so he explained it to everyone.
In the thirteenth year of Jian'an in the Later Han Dynasty, Cao Cao completely defeated Yuan Shao, all of whom had Jizhou, dismissed the three dukes, made himself the prime minister, and set up the prime minister's mansion in Yecheng to control the government remotely. Subsequently, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty crowned Cao Cao as the Duke of Wei, and took the ten counties of Hedong, Hanoi, Wei County, Zhao State, Zhongshan, Changshan, Anping, and Ganling of Jizhou as the Wei State, and Dingye City as the capital of Wei State. Cao Gong then built a large number of Yecheng, and during this period, the most famous buildings were no more than three.
The so-called three platforms are the collective names of the three tall buildings of Jinhu Terrace, Tongque Terrace and Bingjing Terrace. These three high platforms are located on the western wall of Yecheng and are lined up from south to north. The Golden Tiger Terrace is eight feet high, and there are one hundred and thirty-five houses on it; The bronze bird platform is ten zhang high, there are more than 100 houses, and five floors are built on the top of the platform, fifteen zhang high, and the windows are all decorated with copper shrouds; On the top of the building, there is a bronze finch of one zhang and five feet high, when the weather is fine, you can see the brilliance of the light dozens of miles away, as if the immortal dwelling; The ice well platform is also eight feet high, and there is a deep well under the platform for storing ice, grain, and coal.
Golden Tiger, Tongque, Bingjing three north and south row up, 60 steps apart from each other, between the high platforms are connected with pontoon type pavilion road, open then three are connected, close then the center is suspended. Chen Siwang's "Tongque Taifu" Zhongyun: "Even the two bridges are in the east and west, if the shrimp salamander in the sky", that is, this is also.
On the one hand, the three buildings are equivalent to the modern Burj Khalifa and the World Trade Center in New York, and they are a show of economic power. The magnificence of the three is enough to set off the magnificence of Yedu. At the same time, it has an extremely strong military defense role, landing on the three platforms, within a radius of dozens of miles centered on Yecheng, any movement can be seen at a glance; The three stations themselves are even more difficult to attack military fortresses, if Zhang Qiang's bow and crossbow are on the platform, it can suppress a wide range of enemy troops and ensure the initiative on the battlefield.
The three are military fortresses, and there are important settings such as arsenals and stables under the stage; Forty miles away from Santai, it is a large area of water formed when Cao Gong dug the Zhangqu weir in the past to train the naval army, so the Jinming Gate as the west gate of Yecheng is quite inconvenient. To welcome guests, the famous building Jian'an Station is located outside the Jianchun Gate at the East Gate.
6 Yao and the others then turned around and detoured to the east, passing through the three gates of Fengyang, Zhongyang and Guangyang in the south of Yecheng, and prepared to stay at Jian'an Station.
When they really got close to Yecheng, a famous city in the world, they had to admit that the prosperous scenery of this Hebei thoroughfare was very different from the deserted and merged states. Although I have not entered the city, I have seen pedestrians rubbing shoulders and weaving. Looking around, there are red men and green women riding in and out of the gorgeous manor buildings; There are officials and officials who shout along the way, and they are majestic; More often than not, begging, haggard homeless people along the way, gathered among the dirty shacks, many of whom were emaciated as skeletons.
Forced by the threat of war, a large number of wealthy families left the land and came to Yecheng to settle down, they spent a lot of money, indulged in luxury, so that a large amount of wealth was invested in the city; The landless peasants, who were also forced by the war, also gathered here, hoping to find a chance to survive under the boots of the wealthy and noble. There is no doubt that this is a deformed state of prosperity.
Everyone rode through the surging crowds, and when they arrived at the Jian'an Station, Ding Miao was stunned first.
This Jian'an post was originally an official post station, and the building scale was large, and it was also mentioned in the "Sandu Fu" of Zuo Si, a great scribe of this dynasty. At the same time, Jian'an Station is also a military fortress outside the east gate of Yecheng, in addition to the post station building, there are garrisons for defense, and the weather is known as strict. Non-correspondents are not allowed to stay, which is the most important reflection of the difference in status.
However, what fell in front of everyone at this moment was an extremely noisy market. In the eyes, I saw a hundred tunnels, a huge number of buildings, and a forest of mansions and inns; What is poured into the ears is the noise of human voices, the sound of drums, and the sound of nonsense and Qiang; There is a nimble nose, and the air is filled with the smell of wine, meat, and the fragrance of women's powdered blue musk......
Ding Miao couldn't help but rub his eyes: "Didn't you go the wrong way?" ”
******
Suddenly appeared on the page of history and military again, rubbing his eyes, it was really an unexpected joy.
